Answer:

a. There's a 95% chance that the true proportion is in the confidence interval.

Step-by-step explanation:

When we want to estimate a property of a population (a population's parameter), without surveying the population, we use samples.

Then, with the information of the samples we can calculate the statistics and infere properties about a population. This inferences obviously came with some uncertainty, depending on the properties of the sample and specially the sample size.

When we talk about confidence intervals, we use the statistic of the sample (in this case, the mean) to estimate a range of values it is expected to find the true mean of the population. The width of this interval depends on the sample standard deviation and the sample size.

The value of the confidence interval (95%, 99%, etc) represent the probabilty that the true mean is within this interval.

Three pies were made for a party. Each pie was cut into eight pieces. 3⁄8 of the apple pie was left. 1⁄2 of the cherry pie was l
miskamm [114]

Answer:

There are 13 pieces of pie left.

Step-by-step explanation:

So there are 3 pieces of apple pie left, there are 4 pieces of cherry pie left, and there are 6 pieces of pumpkin pie left. 3 + 4 + 6 = 13.

3/8 = 3 pieces because each fraction in this one equals one piece. So the numerator is how many left.

1/2= 4 because you just divide 8 by 2.

3/4 = 2 because you can multiply the fraction by 2 and get 6/8. Then the numerator is how many that's left.

I hope I helped.
